a little saturday evening entertainment

| June 11, 2011

My sister just shared this video clip via e-mail. Oh, it’s a good one! Even if you don’t play the piano, you’ll like watching Little Richard (“Tutti Frutti, oh, Rudy….”) as a little kid. UPDATE: Cousin Leane sent this link in response to my post. This isn’t the first time one of my links turned [...]

worthwhile links

I haven’t shared links in a while. Here are a few I felt worth sharing. Just click on the darker text. An interview with Eugene Peterson. Do you like soccer? Even if you don’t, you might like this. Have you thought about adding a few chickens to your backyard? You probably learned to type this [...]

I’ve been hearing from various sources how cool Pandora is. I finally checked it out. So while I sit here listening to some new-to-me artists singing my kind of music for me from a different tab on my web browser, I thought I’d encourage you to try it out (if I’m not the last person [...]

This is not as easy as it looks. My friend Craig linked it on his blog. My grandkids couldn’t get enough of this. Their family drives one too. Josh sent this story. My man’s the only one with his name. How many of you? The financial crisis in simple terms. What do you think? A [...]
